Mother's Day

I know Mother's Day was over a week ago, but it's not too late for me to say how blessed I feel, to be the mother of this most special little girl. I was thinking back to the days of being pregnant and wondering what life would be like as a mother. In my wildest dreams, I never would have imagined life to be the way it has been. Through God's Grace, we have experienced wonderful joy as we have walked through the trials of the last 3 years. These are some of the things that bring joy to my life as Leah's mom:
  • Leah still enjoys snuggling - most of the time!
  • Leah delights in laughter - especially her own laughter. She likes to experiment with different giggles, guffaws, and laughs.
  • Leah adores music - she loves listening and dancing to music, but she also loves to make up her own songs to sing. 
  • Leah loves the light - something so simple can be completely captivating. Lord willing, she will always walk in the Light.
Leah, my girl, I love you and am so grateful God gave me you to love for the rest of my life.
